Dear Ones,

How are you?

I came across an interesting discussion while watching the movie Interstellar last night. A long movie which took us three evenings to watch.

The discussion below, between two scientists, could indeed be summed up as,

“What is the nature of love?”

This would be a valuable reflection, wouldn’t it?

From the movie Interstellar, about halfway through it. A discussion between two astronauts.

Brand: And that makes me want to follow my heart. Maybe we’ve spent too long trying to understand this with theory.

Copper: You’re a scientist, Brand.

Brand: So listen to me. When I say that love is not something we invented, it’s observable, powerful. It has to mean something.

Cooper: Love has meaning, yes. Social utility, social bonding, child rearing…

Brand: We love people who have died. Where’s the social utility in that?

Cooper: None.

Brand: Maybe it means something more, something we can’t yet understand. Maybe it’s some evidence, some … artifact of a higher dimension that we can’t consciously perceive. I’m drawn across the universe to someone I haven’t seen in a decade, who I know is probably dead. Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can’t understand it yet.

Topic: What is the nature of love?

Time: Jan 9 @ 3:30 PM Eastern Time
